and i think douglas brinkley is a wonderful historian. he is a history professor at rice university. is also taught at naval academy in princeton. so he's a real historian, also does detailed comprehensive research in his writing. so the biography of cronkite that he wrote i think will be the definitive biography of walter cronkite. and i think both the fact that douglas brinkley wrote it, and my high regard for him, and the fact that cronkite of course is a well-known and loved in our country, having this kind of biography is an excellent thing for us to have four historic documentation in the future. the last book, either chapter in this book, it's vital voices. now, "vital voices" is an organization that was formed within senator hillary clinton and myself as honorary co-chairs. and i relate to this and put a chapter in, as did now secretary of state clinton, because i had been so impressed by the role that women had taken throughout the world, particularly in countries that are in trouble. and the women's leaders have emerged to creat

jenna: is that what happened, douglas after the period in 1979? did we see a move towards a more islamist ideology in the middle east? >> well, we saw a move towards crippling an american administration. jimmy carter as president didn't know what to do. the media was going night after night, days held hostage, americans in hostage. there is a feeling we couldn't control our own embassy or liberate people held hostage and a way to weaken american power and prestige. ronald reagan came in. a deal was negotiated. the hostages were released. for a generation it showed you can fight a giant like the united states using terrorism. and it really wasn't until 9/11 actually happened, we of course, the world trade center had been bombed in the early 90s. we had problems in the clinton years in kenya and tanzania, on the cole but it wasn't until 9/11 that we in america started seeing we're firing a war on terror. sometimes we get lazy about it. we are living in a age of war on terror. like the cold war went on decade after decade, this war on terror did not

william douglas, a cantankerous liberal, one summer had a terrible car accident and it drove his car off a cliff. the first question that everybody had of the court was where was felix at the time, because they hate each other so much that they thought that frankfurter might've driven him off. [laughter] i was hoping, as a journalist, that i would find the center of the rehnquist court and the hatred therein. to my great disappointment as a journalist, but somewhat to my satisfaction as a citizen, i learned that rehnquist was actually very popular among his colleagues. he basically created a rule that good fences make good neighbors. he did a policy of leaving everyone alone, rehnquist did not force anyone to vote anyway they didn't want to vote and that was it. another thing that rehnquist did, in the 1980s, the court was deciding about 150 cases per year. by the time that rehnquist died, about 80 cases were being decided here. do the math. eighty cases divided by nine justices divided by four law clerks of peace, no wonder they live so long. it is a pretty cushy job being on the su
